The BO was south in form of a broad channel when it took place. Now Friday 26th it is just in a range that will sooner or later BO north or south. LOL. ES is still in an uptrend. By no means has it become a bear as of yet. Odds favor it will BO above 2940 so I wouldn’t dance and sing too much yet. ROFLMAO. But this broad sideways ranges makes for good intraday trading in both directions.
Remember bear channels are bull flags. And they usually resolve in a continuation of the bull trend. If the unlikely happens and they DON’T then best to make haste go with whatever happens. Because, in such an unlikely case there will probably be a measured move down. Nevertheless, odds favor a northern BO of the bear channel and the now present range behaviour. However, the longer the range goes without a BO the odds increase the BO can be in any direction. At the present moment they favor a bull BO.
